J.J. Watt wants to run over his brother T.J. when Texans play Steelers

The Watt family Christmas could be a very interesting one in 2017. Big brother J.J. and the Texans host little bro T.J. and the Pittsburgh Steelers on Christmas, and J.J. wants to deliver his rookie brother a present in person.

Gleaned from an interview with Steelers defensive coach Kevin Butler on the team’s official website (h/t Bryan DeArdo at 247 Sports), T.J. is preparing to see his All-Pro brother playing some offense.

“His brother is hoping he can play fullback once or twice when we play them this year so he can try to run over his brother,” Butler said in the recent interview.

J.J. has some experience playing on offense for the Texans. His college career commenced as a tight end at Central Michigan before he physically matured into the dominant defensive end at Wisconsin. Middle brother Derek is a fullback for the Los Angeles Chargers, too.

T.J. Watt was Pittsburgh’s first-round pick at outside linebacker and he is expected to start right away. The build up for the Battle of Watts should be epic.
